lately

So... posting everyday hasn't so much happened.  This past week was crazy around our house- we had JM's last soccer game, a party, small group, church, a thanksgiving feast, NEW MOON MIDNIGHT PREMIERE, girls retreat... needless to say- I haven't been home one night this week to even think about posting!!  But it's been an awesome week and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

For starters- John Mark ended his soccer season last Saturday.

It was such a fun "season" if you can call it that.
Did John Mark actually PLAY soccer?
Of course not...

But he did learn a thing or two about paying attention.

And following the rules.

And teamwork.

And he got a shiny medal,

which of course is the best part.

Oh, and snacks.  He loved the snacks.

Not gonna lie- food was always my favorite part too!

And let's see... that Monday night we had a party with some ladies from church.
I love the women that I get to serve with.
They are such a blessing to me-
more than I could put into words! 

Thursday was John Mark's Thanksgiving feast at school.

They made Indian headdresses and cute necklaces.
Then sang some fun Thanksgiving songs.

But did John Mark sing?  Of course not.
He has this funny little way of NOT doing anything we want him to do.
His teacher said he sang the loudest every time...
until we were there.......

After singing their songs, we moved to the gym.
We ate turkey (deli meat) and sides.
Lots of cookies...

And then the boys ran around.
And around.
And around.
That poor teacher...
I hope they just played outside for the rest of the day!

This is turning out to be long, so I'll review NEW MOON and tell about the retreat in another post!
